Creation

What is the significance of creation?
Why tell the story?

Rabbi Yitzchok (RASHI)
motivated by an overall view of the Torah as a story of acquiring the land
the alternative of starting with hachodesh ha zeh implies the new begining is the begining
the begining of the nation constitutes the starting point
To identify Gd
as the creator
what is a creator?
the patent holder?
and thus the owner
of certain rights
royalties
can the patent hoder completely withold his public invention
if it is needed by
everyone?
of all rights?
the father
and what control does he have?
the mother ?
the owner?
rarely is the creator the owner in our day
